Cup of Grace

BETTER LATE THAN NEVER, RIGHT? I APOLOGIZE FOR THE LATE POST. MY WEEKEND PROHIBITED ME FROM GETTING TO A COMPUTER. I BELIEVE YOU'LL FIND THAT TUESDAYS ARE AS GOOD AS MONDAYS FOR CUP OF GRACE! ~ Rebecca Phillips :)

Our family outings are often spent walking through a local prayer garden, with bronze statues of Jesus.  The statue of Jesus washing Peter's feet often captures my son's attention.  He loves to study the face of Jesus, as Jesus humbly serves His servant, Peter. 

On another outing we visited Veterans' Memorial Park.  My son was taken with the statue of the field medic caring for a wounded soldier.  Later, he referred to the statue of the medic, as being Jesus.  Quickly I corrected him.  However upon thinking on it my thoughts were, "He is correct, that field medic was Jesus!"

Recently life took a very difficult turn, the wounded soldier was me.  As the tears flowed and depression settled in, Jesus showed up. The Jesus that was there looked very average. He was dressed in friends' and family members' faces, He even appeared in some brand new faces. During this time He showed up in so much tenderness and compassion.

Everyone needs Jesus in human flesh at times.  We know the Lord is there; but how sweet it is to have a hug, someone comforting you, or praying for you, someone being Jesus. 

You may never have served in the military.  However, remember we are all in a spiritual battle; we are veterans of war.  No one escapes this life without battles.  May we be faithful to seek out the wounded and be Jesus to those who are hurting.

Isaiah 43:2 When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest through the fire, thou shall not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee.

We serve a great God,  He answers prayer!
